The 360, 400 and 600 sedans were available in other countries and Japan in 1967, Hawaii was a new playground for the well-to-do Japanese and in 1969 the first Honda 600's were brought to the Hawaiian IsLands, but the 360's were already in England, Austraila and France and other countries. July of 1968 was when the first Honda N600's rolled off the line. The Z 360 didn't make it's way into the market until 1970. The 600 Z followed and found it's way into many countries with their safety regulations being modified several times to meet their needs.
